Dodgers designated RHP Red Patterson for assignment.

The move was made to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Scott Elbert who had his contract purchased Friday. He should pass through waivers and continue to function as organizational depth. Fri, Sep 12, 2014 07:09:00 PM

Dodgers optioned RHP Red Patterson to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Patterson allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings against the Twins Thursday in his major league debut. The 26-year-old returns to a 4.15 ERA at Triple-A. Sun, May 4, 2014 08:28:00 AM

Red Patterson allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings and got the no-decision as the Dodgers defeated the Twins in 12 innings on Thursday.

All in all, an okay MLB debut for Patterson, who allowed two hits and walked three while striking out one. The 26-year-old right-hander ran out of steam in the fifth inning, walking two Twins before departing with two outs. The expectations weren't that high, but he'll need to be better at missing bats in the future. Fri, May 2, 2014 12:39:00 AM

Dodgers placed INF Justin Turner on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 28, with a skin infection on his right thigh.

Alex Guerrero and Alberto Callaspo will continue to hold down the fort at the hot corner until Turner is ready to return. He's in the midst of an outstanding season offensively, slashing .323/.387/.563 with 13 homers and 44 RBI in just 254 at-bats.

Carlos Frias (back) will make a minor league rehab start Sunday with High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Frias has been out all month with a lower back injury, but he could be an option to rejoin the Dodgers around the start of August if there are no setbacks. The 25-year-old has a 4.39 ERA and 40/24 K/BB ratio in 69 2/3 innings over 12 starts and two relief appearances this season.

Hyun-Jin Ryu admitted Friday that he has known about the tear in his labrum since he underwent an MRI two years ago.

The fact that he was able to pitch through the injury for as long as he did, and at the level of effectiveness, is a minor miracle. He underwent season-ending surgery on Thursday to correct the issue and should be ready to go for spring training next season barring any setbacks.

McCarthy underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery Thursday in Los Angeles and will likely be sidelined until the 2016 All-Star break. The right-hander was in the first year of a four-year, $48 million free agent contract with the Dodgers. He tore the UCL in his right elbow during a start Saturday against the Padres.

Nothing has changed physically for Hatcher, who is currently on a minor league rehab assignment with High-A Rancho Cucamonga. This was merely done as a procedural move to create a spot on the team's 40-man roster for one of the team's many new additions.
